displaying DB results in a new window

corporate_targe · #1 (**permalink**) 05-09-03, 19:13

How can a new window be opened to display DB information upon a submit button click? I know how to open up a new window in JavaScript and how to display the DB from an ASP page, but how can I make a form do both at once? Thx.

oh yeah, I also want to varify the form.

basically i guess i want to know how form info can be sent to a child window. how can i send something to the child window that the user typed in the parent window?

I think you're looking to do this...

<form method=""POST"" name=""F1"" target=""_blank"" action=""codefile.asp"">

the target=""_blank"" causes a new window to open.
the action=""codefile.asp"" is the asp file that will be executed inside the newly opened window.

POST didn't seem to send anything to the child window, but i tried POST and it worked. Also, single quotes worked when double quotes didn't. Thx again.
